Module @coinbase/create-cdp-app - v0.0.47

This package contains the @coinbase/create-cdp-app CLI command, which allows developers to quickly bootstrap a React App using the CDP Web SDK.

Quickstart

This guide will help you get started with @coinbase/create-cdp-app. You'll learn how to create a new CDP-enabled React application with just a few commands.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have one of the following package managers installed:

pnpm (recommended)
npm
yarn

Gather your project ID and whitelist your app from the CDP Portal:

Sign in or create an account on the CDP Portal
Copy your Project ID from the dashboard
Go to the Embedded Wallets CORS settings
Click add origin and whitelist http://localhost:3000 (or wherever your app will run)

Create Your First CDP App

You can create a new CDP app using any of these methods:

# Using pnpm
pnpm create @coinbase/cdp-app@latest

# Using npm
npm create @coinbase/cdp-app@latest

# Using yarn
yarn create @coinbase/cdp-app@latest

The CLI will guide you through the setup process:

Enter your project name (defaults to "cdp-app")
Select a template (React, Next.js, or React Native)
Enter your CDP Project ID
Select account type (EVM EOA, EVM Smart Accounts, or Solana)
Configure Onramp (Next.js only)
Confirm you have whitelisted your app domain on the CDP Portal
Confirm directory overwrite if needed

Command-Line Arguments

You can also pass command-line arguments to pre-configure the setup process.

Argument	Description
`<directory>`	Optional. The name of the directory to create the project in. Defaults to `cdp-app`.
`--template <name>`	Specifies the project template to use. Options: `react`, `nextjs`, `react-native`.
`--project-id <id>`	Your CDP Project ID from the portal.
`--account-type <type>`	Specifies the account type to configure. Options: `evm-eoa` (default), `evm-smart`, `solana`.
`--onramp`	Enables Coinbase Onramp. Note: This is only compatible with the `nextjs` template. If no template is specified, `nextjs` will be used automatically. If an incompatible template (e.g., `react`) is specified, this flag will be ignored and Onramp will be disabled.
`--no-onramp`	Disables Coinbase Onramp.
